| We are pleased to share RBC Wealth Management's latest investment newsletter. Strengthening the ties that bind; At a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, China recently hosted a high-profile forum to strengthen development and trade ties with its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partners. We discuss the BRI’s evolution over the past decade, dispel some common misconceptions, and illustrate how China seeks to gain influence on the world stage. Regional developments: Bank of Canada maintains rate policy; U.S. earnings results beating expectations so far, as GDP and PMIs rise; The first European Central Bank pause after 10 consecutive hikes; China makes rare midyear budget adjustment. Please take some time to review the Global Insight Weekly. Feel free to contact us with any questions and/or to discuss investment ideas. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to continuing to help you accomplish your long-term financial goals. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
